The fret speaker was Hon. John R,
Lynch, tho colored orator OF Misslssi ppi
He aaid ho WAS there to speak on tho
suppression Of the colored vote In tho
South. In his part Of the country they
beloved that up here there were Ropubli.
cans who believed that speaking Of the
suppression Of the Republican votes In
the South Is waving the bloody shirt.
But he would explain what the supprea.
sion meant. aIN.4
Jefferson Davis Is former constituent
ol his. He lived In the district which he
(Mr. LYNCH represented in Congress. He

get tho electoral votes OF Mississippi, Lou.
iaiana and South Carolina, than he could
those Of Pennsylvanis, Vermont and Ohio.
Thero are over 10000 more colored men
than white in Mississippi. Not less than
ons.third OF tho whites vote tho Rspubli.

Hon. John Dalzsll, OF Pennsylvania,
who next spoke, dwslt principally on the
tariff. He attributed the surplus and
many other ills to the internal revenue.
Pennsylvania, he said, Is IS able to bear
revenue or tsriG as any other State; but
che stood up for the labor and money in
vested throughout the country. II the
chimnies OF the factories OF the land be
banked by an sboli!ion Of the tariff, whore
